"I've never read anything by Wolfe"
Yes, that's the problem. This tweet is plain as day in the context of his other writings. His theory states that groups of people born of different "climate" are "more beautiful and all ways better disposed." (p 67)

This tweet is part of the same idea. His theory takes this idea to the concept of a "peculiar love for the people of own race and country". He attempts to obfuscate "ethnicity" to be about culture, but connects it to the "blood ties in ethno-genesis". It's all in the book, folks.
Chapter 3 of the book covers most of these things. By the end I am certain that most will conclude that Wolfe's theory is distinctly ethno-nationalist.

For example, here is a statement that only makes sense in the modern context of *race*.
On "psycho-sexual ethno-masochism":
On "Western Man". The theme of the chapter is "Which Way, Western Man?" which is the title of a white-nationalist book from the 70s.
Lastly, his former podcast co-host used a derivative of "Which Way, Western Man?" in a white-nationalist context.
Since @CalebDixonSmith (he blocked me) says I'm being dishonest, allow me to provide more evidence. Let's start with this tweet from Wolfe, which I suspect he deleted while his account was private yesterday. Archive:
